Wellesley College Theatre presents “Decompositions”
February 11 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
EVENT: Wellesley College Theatre presents Decompositions, by Farm Arts Collective artistic director Tannis Kowalchuk
DATE: Tuesday, February 11
TIME: 7pm
LOCATION: Ruth Nagel Jones Theatre, Alumnae Hall, 106 Central St., Wellesley College
COST: Free
DESCRIPTION: Wellesley College Theatre will bring guest artist Tannis Kowalchuk to campus, to present her original work Decompositions in a free performance for both the college and public community, February 11 at 7pm in the Ruth Nagel Jones Theatre, Alumnae Hall, 106 Central St., Wellesley College, 781-283-2000.
Written and performed by Farm Arts Collective founder, Tannis Kowalchuk, the solo performance explores decomposition as a metaphor for life. Employing her devised theatre practice and life as a farmer, Decompositions is an original song-filled,
multimedia performance that digs into birth, death, farming, art, decay (aging) and transformation.
Featuring a compost pile at center stage, the performance begins with excerpts from the Gertrude Stein essay, “Composition as Explanation,” providing an entry into the existential monodrama.
In this deeply personal theatrical meditation, Kowalchuk explores the composting process as analogous to the process of her own aging. Kowalchuk’s humorous and poignant stories take audiences on a journey of longing to accept mortality as elegantly as the compost does its transformation.
Decompositions is created in collaboration with director Mimi McGurl, songs by Rima Fand, beats and soundscapes by Janhavi Pakrashi, music by the Farm Arts Collective, technical director is Jess Beveridge. This free performance is presented by Wellesley
College Theatre with support from the Paulson Ecology of Place Initiative.
